BeanNest Wheel
Paste a roster and spin. Each pick leaves the wheel and joins an order list you can rename and reorder. When the order looks right, send it to the BeanNest timer in a new tab. Names stay in your browser and never enter a web address.
0 on the wheel
Six sample names are on the wheel. Spin to build the pick order.
Nobody is in the order yet. Each spin adds one person here.
The order opens in a new BeanNest timer tab. It is passed between the two tabs in your browser, not uploaded and not placed in the link.
The secure random engine picks one remaining person before the wheel moves, then the animation lands on that exact segment. The person leaves the wheel and joins the end of the order list. When a spin leaves only one person on the wheel, they join the order without another spin.
Rename anyone in the order list, move them with the up and down buttons, or drag the handle. Reset puts every roster name back on the wheel and empties the order; Clear removes the roster, the wheel and the order.
Send to timer opens the BeanNest timer in a new tab and passes the ordered names to it. The timer runs everyone with one shared period, shows Over for five seconds, then moves to the next person. If your browser blocks the pop-up, use the button that appears to open it again.
Use this page to build an order for everyone, such as a speaking or presentation order. For a single winner or a no-repeat classroom draw,Wheel of Names keeps its own draw history. For the selection rules, readhow an online random wheel chooses a winner.
Working notes
Paste your roster, one name per line, or open a people preset.
Press Spin. One person is chosen securely, leaves the wheel and joins the end of the pick order. When a spin leaves one person, they are added without another spin.
Rename people, move them with the up and down buttons, or drag the handle until the order is right.
Press Send to timer. The BeanNest timer opens in a new tab with everyone in that order, ready to start.
The wheel supports 1 to 100 names of up to 120 characters each, from at most 20,000 characters of roster text. Repeated names are collapsed ignoring case and the status line reports how many. The order list cannot add or remove people; Reset puts everyone back on the wheel and Clear empties the roster, the wheel and the order. People still on the wheel are not sent to the timer.
Names stay in this browser. Sending to the timer passes them between the two BeanNest tabs in your browser with a message addressed only to the BeanNest timer page; nothing is uploaded and no name is placed in a web address. Closing or reloading a tab discards its list.
No. The secure random engine chooses the person first, then a deterministic geometry function rotates that exact segment to the pointer. Frame rate or click timing cannot change the result.
The status line says so and an Open timer again button appears. Allow pop-ups for this site and press it; the order is still on this page. The timer tab opens focused and shows the first name when it is ready.
No. The order is sent once. Changes made in the timer stay in the timer, and sending again opens a new timer tab with the order shown here.
This page builds a full order for everyone and hands it to the timer. Wheel of Names draws a single name at a time and keeps a draw history for no-repeat classroom use.
